MotoGP 2014

[pritch]

I just checked how my MCN team went; all riders scored points. That'd be a first. Despite the fact that two of them won, I'm still not in the top 1000 though. My results in the MotoPod league look better I'm seventh out of about 170. Probably poised for a graceful slide down the rankings?

It won't be relevant to me but they usually have a good prize for the winner. Last year was a new bike, this year first prize is flights, accomodation and grandstand tickets for two to the 2015 Qatar GP.

CC Ducati problem

Crutchlow's electronics glitch was Magneti Marelli issue and not Ducati. 2nd time this year he had a transponder failure. 1 in testing


and the piece of shit Honda open bike of redding had to limit there fuel flow over the race
Interesting from Redding. RCV1000R has 22 litres, but he was warned by Honda to save fuel. Was borderline and started saving from lap 4



Perhaps Honda missunderstood the rules for open bikes when they built the tank

Think he would've dispatched of the fall-eeees without too much trouble barring maybe Lorenzo.

My pick for Qatar was Vale, Jorge and Marc with not more than 3 seconds covering them, wasn't too far out

Have to admit Gaz, I didn't think he had it in him.

But didn't it make for a MIGHTY race! That race has to be up there with the best. Sure, a lot fell down but those who finished did not. Which just goes to show, they were close to the edge............

I wonder if CS watched the race...?

Prob too busy with his model car!

I seem to recall that he was watching the SuperX.

There was a report that Yamaha were to start negotiating signings after only two races, probably because Honda have been showing interest in signing Lorenzo. Rossi might be feeling a whole lot better about that tonight than he was last night.

[Trudes]

Great race!
Shame Nick Harris is back and we have another season of listening to his drivel, if I hear him say "where will it end?" one more time I'll scream.

Who ? You just baiting the hook Oscar, lol.

ps Yeah Trudes, Harris is beside himself when Smith and Crutchlow are in the mention.

Too obvious?

Subtlety never was my strong point...

Lol. Nah...you've lost your touch!

Well it's probably because he's English. Supporting the home riders.

Never catch an Aussie commentator doing that though. Notorious for fair play, balance and objectivity those bastards... yeah, nah.

Thought Smith took a massive leap today. Alright he binned it towards the end but he went down trying to get back into podium contention rather than settling for 5th. Same for Bautista. Redding beat Hayden on the same bike in his first GP which is just amazing to me. Time to weed out some of those old codgers IMHO. Edwards screams out for the arse card I'm afraid even though he's a cool guy.... Iannone crashed remounted and just about caught him.

Don't suppose the second tier bikes will stay in contention for long but I enjoyed that.
